Discipleship Homes
The ROC has created and supports "discipleship homes", or residential rehab facilities for those who are drug addicted, coming out of jail, and for troubled youth. There's a home for battered women with children, or women who are homeless. These homes are free of charge, and often have a long wait time. Those who enter the discipleship program are not charged rent, but in exchange must attend church services, read the Bible, and work at the ROC's thrift stores along with other various service work services. A 12-step Christian recovery program is taught in some of these groups; however, no traditional methods such as group therapy or counseling are used.

Famous quotes containing the word homes:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
